Do you mean: イギリス人です。 私の日本語はどうですか？
Is ドリュ your name? I think you may have it wrong?

Probably, been practicing kana so and have only just started leaning vocab and grammar. Sorry if I fouled it up totally. Guess its back to the drawing board... *sigh*
ﾄﾞﾘｭｰ is my attempt at Drew in kana (as in Andrew). 'doryu-' is the closest I could get.
I also put 'what' instead of 'how'. Rather funny really.

You are right, ドリュー would be best for Drew.
You'll want to say イギリス人, not 英人。 英人 seems to be less used than 英国人 and is also a Japanse first name (ひでと）. 英国人 sounds formal and offical - appropriate for writing on official forms and things.

Ah...
Thanks for clarifying that. I'll stick to イギリス人 for now then.
ありがと！

Avast, matey!
You mean ドルー (which has the sound of /do-ruu/). ドリュー has the sound of /do-ryuu/.

My google search gave me to ドリュー・バリモア、and Andrew (which should have the same sound) is usually アンドリュー, which led to my previous conclusion.
However, now you mention it ドルー does sound closer. I just don't know what to believe anymore.

believe in the force...but I also think ドルー sounds much more like drew than ドリュー or ドリュ...but thats my opinion and u can't put much stock in my word(I think thats the correct idiom)

こんばんは、ドルーさん！ おげんき です か？まちがえば、しんぱいしない！
まちがえる ＝ to make a mistake [verb]
しんぱい する ＝ to worry
If the meaning ye'r lookin' fer be conveyed, then the selecshun of werds don' have no more worth than thems in pirate's cliches, matey! So don't be gettin yer pantaloons in a bunch.
All spellin' errers intenshunnal, arr. Spontaneous apostrophes, too.

Sometimes I think that I'm afraid of thinking, and that scares me.
